2020 Kooyong Ferrous Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula

I love this wine. All three of the 2020 Single Block Pinot Noirs from Kooyong on the Mornington Peninsula are outstanding, but this one is the star turn; made from fruit grown on a site of under a hectare that is full of ironstone pebbles that give the wine its individual character. This is a concentrated, intense pinot with elegance and style. A portion of whole bunch and wild fermentation in old oak have resulted in a magical potion. After fermentation the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barriques (25% new) and underwent malo, adding texture. Unfined, unfiltered, an absolutely marvellous drink. Magical!
